DC Chatter

 I was reading through DC news this AM, and this odd topic came up....restaurant  failures in DC.  

A study was released in the past week....stating around 44 percent of restaurants were on the verge of failure. 

What was causing the trend?  Three basic things: inflation, no willing nature to pay higher prices, and credit card swipe fees increasing.

I lived in the region for 3.5 years (2010 to 2013).  I would make a blunt statement here....suggesting that roughly half the restaurants in the region were marginally worth eating at.  You'd sit through a dinner....grumbling over the quality, and then get the $25-to-$35 bill.  

The worst experience?  At a military enlisted club (I'll leave the location out)....to eat Thanksgiving dinner.....priced at $99, and noting about 2 minutes into the dinner....it was entirely cooked in some funny Asian style.
